The simple fact that an entire anti-vaxx movement exists is utterly dumbfounding. Despite decades of medical research and undisputed scientific proof that vaccines save lives, there are still people out there who truly believe getting their child vaccinated will lead to severe disabilities.

In the early 2000s, Jenny McCarthy famously claimed her own son developed Autism as a result of vaccines which only furthered the baseless notion that these medicines do more harm than good. The sad thing is that while people maintain it’s a personal choice whether or not to vaccinate their kids, it affects all of us and is without a doubt a serious global issue.
